I've been walking around this town
And I've decided I don't ever wanna be another face in the crowd
I've been talking to people I meet
Saying, "I've been thinking about leaving and I'm taking next to nothing with me"
And I know that public opinion says that I should settle down
But there's something inside my heart that fights against the crowd
And it is wild
Wild I am
I've been thinking of things I don't know
And I'm not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go
You've got your convictions and I've got mine
But if you're trying to tame the lion in me it'll be a waste of your time
And I know that public opinion says to be a realist
But if you tame the beast in me, then I would not exist
Cause I am wild
Wild, wild, I am
I always find it hard to ascertain
Why it is that I feel this way
When my whole life is in disarray
The future makes me feel alive
I've always known the romantic side
Of not knowing where I'll sleep at night
I can't stand when my hands are tied
My bed, the ground, my roof, the sky
